These houses sold for $100k under-asking in these southern Ontario cities

While no one would argue that homes in the GTA are cheap (the average home price in the region currently sits at $1,026,703), it does appear that some stylish and upgraded homes in in-demand cities such as Mississauga, Brampton and Ajax are selling for significantly less than their listing price. 

Homes in Markham and Toronto also made the list. 

In fact, some are selling for $100,000 or more under-asking. 

“The GTA real estate market is known for its dynamism and competitive nature, but February brought about some surprising trends as several houses sold below their initial asking prices,” real estate website and brokerage Zoocasa said on its website.

“Whether due to market fluctuations, strategic pricing, or other factors, these 10 homes caught the attention of savvy buyers looking for a good deal.”
